Ol' Smokey says it all. We're really dry out here and badly in need of moisture. So "Gimme One" big rainstorm lasting a couple days and leaving a few inches of rain. No heavy downpours, no wind or hail, no thunder and lightning (dangerous when dry). Just a nice steady rain to soak into the dry earth and give the trees and plants a long, cool drink!

Maybe this will help:

We have these in Provence, only they're not so cute. All we get is a 'black zone' general prohibition - oh, and police fines if caught. I hope you don't witness any (fires, I mean), Marsha. revenant · 2011-04-13: 12:22
